things to think about.

have you ever really seen yourself? i mean, yeah, i guess i see myself all the time, but its usually in a mirror, or a picture, or an upside down version of me seen by simply looking down...but my face, that i have never really seen. again, I've seen pictures and a reflection of my face in mirrors...but its not the same.

I hope I'm never "between a rock and a hard place." it sounds like a really uncomfortable and possibly painful place to be. my econ teacher seems to say that phrase almost everyday. i didn't really notice it until a few weeks ago when she said it about seven times in three minutes. at that point i had stopped thinking about aggregate demand and Keynesian theory and started focusing on all the weird things she says. "skulking around" is another one--how that came up in econ, I'll never know.

cop a squat. i always thought it was pop a squat...not sure why, but it makes more sense to me. what exactly does "cop" mean? the closest definition on dictionary.com was to steal. but are you stealing the squat? is a squat something that can be taken away? please, if you can, shed some light on the matter for me.

really is an adverb. i was thinking about the game, in the manner of the adverb, and was trying to think of really hard adverbs--to make the game a little more exciting. i searched my brain for all words ending in -ly and came up with really. after looking it up in my spanish-english translater, it was confirmed. really is an adverb. this gave new depth to the word for me. its not necessarily just a degree of something anymore. it means to do something real-ly. this is amazing to me...sorry if you don't share the same enthusiasm.

love is worth forgiving for--this was my favorite line in Jekyll & Hyde. thought this would be a good place for it.

um...that's it i guess...what have you been thinking about?

ap tests are over!

ap tests are a funny thing. this year i took the government test and the macroeconomics test. they were not so fun. the gov test took three and a half hours...and my chair had one short leg, which means i was wobbling back and forth for three and a half hours! annoying much? but that was last week. today, i took my econ test. it was only three hours (still long). that was a funny test. it took us like 45 minutes before the test to fill out our name, which was annoying. i was a little jealous of james bonner when he showed up 25 minutes late, because i realized that i could have shown up 25 minutes late and been better off. anyway, as i was taking the test, i was a little worried about how many question i was skipping. i worried until i looked to my left and saw Nish sleeping. i decided that if Nish was sending in a blank test, the few questions i skipped wouldn't affect my score too bad. (Nish later woke up and proceeded to fill in all the answers...without looking at the questions) i finished that section of the test and pulled out Siddartha to read. I found myself wishing that i could have pulled the Worldly Philosophers out of purse for a quick refresher on Keynesian Theory, but alas, i am not that much of nerd...no, i do not carry the Worldly Philosophers around with me.
Section 2 began later. i broke the seal to the essay writing portion and started reading the prompts. i'm a little mad at the people who made up the test, because they used seven pages when they could have used two...paper wasters! anyway, i'm pretty sure i was not prepared for prompt 1, and as a result, was forced to skip it. prompt 2 was a little better, but i probably would have done better if i had a photographic memory and had memorized my text book. prompt 3 i could answer! it was a good question, that we had talked about in class extensively (at the time i thought a little too extensively since it wasn't even a difficult subject). i was finished with my test a little early and started looking around the classroom. here are some things i noticed: there was a really annoying cricket, edward hopper is one of my favorite artists, you do not need five pencils to take a scan tron test...one will suffice, you shouldn't wear a Davy Crockett hat while taking a scan tron test...people will think you're strange.

Jekyll & Hyde

so, the musical is over, which means i have a life again! it means i don't have to be at rehearsal every day at three o'clcok (which cuts right into my nap time)! but, somehow ms. b has found reasons for me to be at school every day at three anyway...how does that work? for those of you that weren't able to catch the show, i played a poor woman, a rich woman, a prostitute, and a homeless woman. that's really all i have to say about that.

the cast! (i'm between garrett and holland...dressed as a prostitute)

ms. tang 2

so, eric asked ms. tang to prom via secret spongebob decoder pen. it was basically the best idea ever! plus, i was involved...which always makes things better!

she said no...

ms. tang

eric and i are in tutorial and would like to dedicate this post to our favorite english teacher! in honor of her, we wrote a few haikus. here it goes!

my chinese teacher
always wear cute sho-es
will be my prom date.

hair as black as coal
where is the decoder pen?
why not check your purse?

you make english fun
stop staring at my pictures
tell your "husband" hi!

what is your last name?
is it tang or is it ku?
you cannot have both.

dirty mouth?

i thought i would devote an entire post to a dear and long-time, orbit sugarfree gum. reasons why i love orbit: they are always coming out with new flavors (so i never get bored), is softer than trident, has long lasting flavor, each and every package reminds us to throw away our trash (diagram included), tells you where to open package (this is very important), it's fabulous and it's made in canada. ok, the last one was a stretch...but you get the picture.

out of orbits eleven flavors, my favorites are spearmint and mint mojito (exotic new flavor). so tell me, how do you do the sugarfree gum?

tomorrow: Walpurgisnacht

best night ever!

(spin off of best week ever)

recap:
so, tonight started off with wingstop (as the best ones usually do). lacey, emily and i ordered 25 wings!...plus chad's 10...and almost ate them all! what can i say? they were good. (i also drank an entire diet pepsi and it's refill--you may need this information later on) we left wingstop to meet lindsey and bruce at alton square. why? because they're cool. after parking in front of golden spoon and listening to a bit of timbaland, yeah baby! we departed for mason park where we were to meet annum and deannie. turns out mason park was closed or something so we went to uni parking lot instead. we danced and spun in circles and hid in trunks (this is where all that caffeine comes in) until at 11:25 we had the brilliant idea to go toilet papering! we immediately left for cvs (which makes me happy). when emily and i arrived we ran out of the car, into cvs and straight to the toilet paper aisle. well, maybe not straight...it wasn't that easy to find. we grabbed the 12 roll pack and headed for the register. by that time deannie and annum had finally arrived and we handed the man all the $1 we could muster, told him to keep the change and ran out of there before he had even opened the register. we quickly drove to c******* c****'s house (the time was 12:44) and put our toilet papering knowledge to the test. if you ask me, we did a pretty good job for only having 6 minutes! for you see...it was only 6 minutes until none other but c******* c****'s dad appears from the backyard. not even a second later four girls were running down the street as fast as they're legs would go (we left all the toilet paper, if you were wondering...oops...)! it was so amazing. i don't even remember the last time i went toilet papering. all i have to say, is that i'm going to start doing it a little more often...so watch out, and don't make me mad! haha...jk. but seriously...

tomorrow: nothing special.
